Why you can trust Sky News

Prince William has offered his congratulations to his younger brother for his engagement but also could not resist poking fun at him.

The second-in-line to the throne joked that Prince Harry had a habit of pinching food from his house, as they are neighbours in the grounds of Kensington Palace, and he hoped it might change in the near future.

Speaking in Finland, Prince William said the royal couple were "very caught up in the moment" of their engagement, which is bringing joy to their family.

He quipped: "And for me personally I hope it means he stays out of my fridge, it will stop him scrounging off all my food, he's done over the last few years."

He added: "It's a fantastic process you go through, the engagement and the build up to the wedding and things like that.

On Tuesday they confirmed they will tie the knot in May next year, and said the Queen had given her permission for them to get married in St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.

They plan to allow the public to feel part of the day, and are taking a lead in the preparations, so the wedding day will reflect who they are as a couple.

Details such as the exact date, the best man and the bridesmaids have not been released, but Prince William's children Prince George and Princess Charlotte are expected to be pageboy and bridesmaid.

The Queen will attend, as will the rest of the Royal family, as well as Ms Markle's parents, Thomas Markle and Doria Ragland.
